I work at Google, and previously at Amazon, I was a bit upset reading your comment, but I have to be honest with myself, you are right. I "admire" more indiehackers and other technical founders than Staff Engineers and the like at Google. On the tech side you are also correct, the innovation at Google is minimal, we all work on somebody else's projects, promotion work and career development. Regarding interviewing, you are also correct, it have become a Leetcode grind fest, that certain demographic nails more often than not, due to their ability to give up life and memorize Leetcode solutions and System Design patterns non stop. I'm jealous of people who find a real life problem and start a company to monetize a solution that actually help people.
